Dell PowerProtect Data Domain, versions 7.7.1.0 through 8.7, LTS2026 release version 8.6.1.0 through 8.6.1.10, LTS2025 release version 8.3.1.0 through 8.3.1.30, LTS2024 release versions 7.13.1.0 through 7.13.1.70 contain an insertion of sensitive information into log file vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to information exposure.
AnalysisAI
Sensitive information disclosure in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain exposes credentials or configuration data to local low-privileged attackers via insufficiently protected log files. Affected are multiple release trains spanning versions 7.7.1.0 through 8.7, with specific LTS branches also impacted. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a local account on the Data Domain appliance with at least low-level OS privileges (PR:L per CVSS). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD-assigned CVSS 5.8 (Medium) reflects a balanced but real risk profile. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has compromised a low-privileged local account on the Data Domain appliance - for example, a service account used for monitoring - waits for or triggers an operational condition (such as initiating a backup job or configuration operation) that causes the system to log sensitive material such as credentials or tokens. The attacker then reads the relevant log file from the local filesystem, extracting the sensitive information for use in further lateral movement or escalating access within the backup infrastructure. … |
| Remediation | Apply the security update documented in Dell advisory DSA-2026-278 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000481268/dsa-2026-278-security-update-for-dell-powerprotect-data-domain-multiple-vulnerabilities). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
